Instruction for Use

GB

 Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation
and operation of the appliance.
 Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of
the appliance.
 The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional in accordance with the instructions
provided.
 Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected
from the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently
ventilated rooms, in accordance with current national
legislation and any subsequent amendments in
force. The room in which the appliance is installed
must be ventilated adequately in order to provide as
much air as is needed by the normal gas
combustion process (the flow of air must not be
lower than 2 m
3
/h per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a
duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
and should be positioned so that they are not liable
to even partial obstruction (see figure A).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a
minimum of 200 cm
2
- whenever the surface of the
hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety
device. When the flow of air is provided in an
indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B),
provided that these are not communal parts of a
building, areas with increased fire hazards or
bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a
ventilation duct leading outside as described above.
 After prolonged use of the appliance, it is
advisable to open a window or increase the speed of
any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
The efficient disposal of combustion fumes should
be guaranteed using a hood which is connected to a
safe and efficient natural suction chimney, or using
an electric fan which begins to operate automatically
every time the appliance is switched on (see figure).
 The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air
and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms
containing LPG cylinders must have openings
leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape
easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or
completely full, must not be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas which are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should
be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys,
stoves) which may cause the temperature of the
cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
 The appliance may be installed alongside any
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
 Make sure that the wall which is in contact with the
back of the appliance is made from a non-
flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
 Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the
studio flat (not in the bathroom).
 If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,
the appliance must be installed at least 600 mm
away from them.
 If the cooker is installed underneath a wall
cabinet, there must be a minimum distance of 420
mm between this cabinet and the top of the hob.
